Life Is A Cabernet! Zoom Wine Class for #RestaurantStrong Fund

Thank you for tasting great wine for a great cause! Here’s how it works.

Proceeds from this tasting class will go to the #RestaurantStrong Fund to support people from the restaurant industry across the country who have been impacted by the Covid-19 closures. And the wines you find to taste along in class, all that goes right to your local wine shops.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR WINE

I’m going to open and teach to these three wines. They represent two broad stylings of north and south American Cab plus the French origin Cabernet style of Bordeaux.

2015 Ravanal ‘Rawen’ Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon (Colchagua Valley, Chile, about $15)
2017 Brady Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles, CA USA, about $20)
2015 Château Les Hauts de Trintaudon (Haut-Medoc, central Bordeaux, western France, about $15)
Order from Solera: A Shrine To Wine at our Roslindale campus. You can also order them from your favorite wine shop. Do not be shy about getting equivalents when you need to – there are lots of other Cabs from Paso Robles and Chile that will be fine too.

THREE WINE GLASSES & A WEBCAM

You can do this as big or as little as you want. Taste along with all three, or one or two, or just tune in and learn about Cabernet with the Cabernet you have in your glass.

After you sign up, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom address and password (if needed) for the tasting class.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
“Life Is A Cabernet!” is an introductory course for beginners and enthusiasts. It assumes some exposure to wine but little or no formal wine knowledge. This program is appropriate for both consumers and professionals in all wine, food, hospitality and service industries.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Students will learn technical wine tasting, major wine grapes, wine and food pairing basics, and fundamentals of wine style. The emphasis is on providing an overview of Cabernet Sauvignon and where it fits in the world of wine and wine tasting.
